Pizza Hut Food Poisoning Lawsuit

Posted on July 30th 2009

According to the Associated Press, a group of people have filed a Pizza Hut Food Poisoning Lawsuit in Greenwood, Mississippi. NPC International, the largest franchisee of Pizza Hut, is named the sole defendant. The article goes on to say that on January 8th, 19 people had to be taken to the hospital for treatment of symptoms that sounded like food poisoning, such as vomiting and nausea.

The article further states that theMississippi Department of Health discovered raw chicken at “inappropriate temperatures.” Though the health department did state that “when bacteria is found in raw chicken, illness does not typically come on so swiftly.”

The article also states that any number of food born pathogens could be to blame such as E. Coli, Salmonella, Listeriosis and/or Norovirus.

Nestles Cookie Dough E-Coli Scare

Posted on June 19th 2009

The Food and Drug Administration issued a recall on Nestle’s refridgerated Toll House cookie dough due to a suspected outbreak of E-Coli poisoning related to the product.  Over sixty people have reported ill with severe symptoms that authorities believe are related to the cookie dough.

E. coli O157:H7 causes abdominal cramping, vomiting and a diarrheal illness, often with bloody stools. Most healthy adults can recover completely within a week. Young children and the elderly are at highest risk for developing HUS, which can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.

While the matter is being investigated, retail stores have been told to pull the product from the store shelves.  Consumers have been advised to not use the product if it is in their home.  More details will be released soon.

Anyone who suffers E-coli poisoning from this product should contact our food poisoning lawyers as soon as possible to discuss their legal rights.  If possible, preserve your package and any receipts for the purchase of the cookie dough.  This will assist us in the handling of your case.
